Talk:Moby Prince disaster

MS Moby Prince should be merged into this article - there is no reason for two separate articles to exist.--ukexpat (talk) 12:29, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Done - I went ahead and merged, if anyone objects it can be reverted.--ukexpat (talk) 18:25, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't object combining two articles, but the article name should be MS Moby Prince. Otherwise, IMHO, the ship infobox should be replaced by a disaster infobox because the article is primarily about the disaster and not the ship. Tupsumato (talk) 10:08, 12 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Parts of this article seem to heavily imply that people suspect some kind of coverup or conspiracy, but it doesn't actually explain what they think happened. How would the presence of a bettolina or US warship in any way effect the disaster? There were two vessels,a tanker that was hit, and a ferry that hit something, was covered in oil and set on fire. Did the bettolina actually hit the tanker, and then the ferry spontaneously combusted in an unrelated incident? Why would they lie about the presence of a bettolina? What happened to that vessel? How did US warships present or not have anything to do with the collision? It just doesn't make any sense. It seems much more likely that a captain of a large tanker who was just struck by another small vessel far from his bridge, which is now covered in oil and flames, just had difficulty exactly identifying the type of vessel. Maybe he expected a bettolina to rendezvous with him. I don't see how these apparently relatively straightforward facts can be interpreted as some sort of complex and sinister conspiracy. I mean other than that it's a popular hobby for some people to read conspiracy into everything. Idumea47b (talk) 09:36, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
